... and the Printed Swishy Skirt is still drawing me to it.

I like the LBR and MBL.

What do you guys think?
Do any of you have these skirts?

Thanks in anticipation,

cornsilk · 16/08/2008 19:30

I like it too. Am off on hols soon but might order it if it's still there when I get back.

forkhandles · 16/08/2008 19:34

I like it too, but I like the PRP !!

forkhandles · 16/08/2008 19:38

Also like the Double Layer Printed Skirt and the Ruffle Cotton Skirt

i have earlier versions of swishy. they were good when i was fatter but now too long unless with heels. nicely made though and good swish.

GemBean · 16/08/2008 20:03

I have the MBL one, really like it, but Im a size 12-14 and went for the 14 but its pretty generous so wish I'd got the 12. I only wear it with heels, looks bit frumpy and too swishy without.

BTW put M373 in the discount code box and you'll get free delivery!

I have got the swishy green fruit salad- it's ok- but the cotton is slightly stiff- not really as swishy as he makes out!

They are also a generous fit- I got an 8 and I am more like a 10 round the waist.

I think it looks too stiff to be squishy and also very obviously Boden, though that prob doesnt worry you.

Forkhandles, is the free delivery with a free return as well?

I wouldn't call is swishy- it is a full skirt, but the cotton is not as soft as many I have had from Jigsaw etc.

I went on holiday to Padstow a few weeks ago, and it looked a bit like a Boden photo shoot. Even at 13.50 I am not sure i can shop there ever again....lest I be categorized with Trquin and penelope's Mater and Pater!

PoorOldEnid · 17/08/2008 13:28

no boden for me

am off to salcombe for bank hols and we are planning a spot the boden drinking game in the pub

dbl layer printed skirt is gorgeous
I have it in sulphur and wear it with brown or white
Always get compliments
It fits large side I got 10 and loads of room in waist which is odd as last year I had to send a 10 back and get a 12?

Piffle, is the dbl layer printed skirt really full?

I have waist/hips issues and really don't need any extra inches.

I know these skirts were out for spring/summer, but, do you think they could be worn through the autumn, too?

Perhaps with boots?

OP posts:
Piffle · 17/08/2008 17:31

not the dbl layered one it's really light cotton
I have hips and it gives me some so guess it has tummy panel pleated and the kicks out on hips or just below in my case!

Hmmm... decisions, decisions...

Wonder what this one's like...

Or even perhaps this.

Why am I so weak...

I don't know about the free returns. I wasn't expecting it to work at all really. It's really for £10 off code when you spend £30 (with free delv & returns) in the new no sale stuff. I'll let you know when it arrives!
